The Yankees captured their first title since 2000, humbling the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday, 7-3, in Game 6 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium.
For the past eight seasons the Yankees have led the way in payroll and in many major victories. They have also built a new stadium—and now they have christened it with their first World Series championship in nine years.
The Yankees will celebrate their World Series title with a "ticker tape" parade up the Canyon of Heroes on Friday.
Derek Jeter, A-Rod and the rest of the Bronx Bombers will be celebrating in grand fashion amongst confetti and congratulatory cheers on lower Broadway from the Battery to City Hall starting at 11 a.m.
"Congratulations to all the Yankees for bringing the world championship back home to New York City, where it belongs," said Bloomberg, who revealed the parade plans after the Yanks' stunning victory last night. He will present the keys to the city to the champs at a City Hall ceremony right after the triumphant march.
While anyone can line the route, a limited number of tickets to the City Hall celebration will be available, the mayor's office said. Information on how tickets will be distributed will be available today.
